That night, Ye Chen made an effort to blend into his new family. Wrapped in a thick blanket, he curled up in the corner of his bed, not wanting to engage with anyone.
He turned over, hoping to enjoy the romantic silence that belonged solely to him.
However, in stark contrast to his silence, the others in the room were passionately discussing various topics.
Most of the men were like this, their conversations revolving around nothing but alcohol and women. Of course, in this fantastical era, the group of men discussed Kun Ze and Zhong Yong even more.
When it came to alcohol, the most animated was the burly Wang Li. His imposing figure clearly marked him as a rugged Tian Qian. After spending some time in the Military Camp, Ye Chen had begun to develop the ability to distinguish between Tian Qian and Zhong Yong.
Those with robust physiques and distinctly muscular builds, exuding a strong presence, were Tian Qian. This aura would create a Xin Xiang impact on Kun Ze; this was Ye Chen's own perception.
Ye Chen found it hard to imagine how such a rough man could come to the Medical Camp as an apprentice. Yet when it came to alcohol, Wang Li spoke with authority. He not only knew various types of liquor but could also categorize them meticulously, explaining which drinks Submissive ld be served in which glasses.
He even mentioned wine, claiming it was currently the favorite vintage among the high-ranking officials and nobility.
Although the men all loved alcohol, they were still in the Military Camp, where there were many rules about drinking. Thus, this topic quickly lost its appeal, and their enthusiasm waned. However, discussions about Kun Ze and women grew increasingly fervent, with voices rising and falling.
"I bet you all have been to Pavilion of Floral Pursuit during your days off."
That name sounded familiar. Ye Chen's drowsy mind instantly became alert; he quietly opened his eyes and listened intently from his corner.
That's right; it was the brothel where those thugs had planned to sell him yesterday down by the mountain. Ye Chen felt a wave of relief wash over him; if he had truly been sold, meeting his brothers from the Military Camp afterward would have been incredibly awkward—an absolute social death. He instinctively touched his forehead as if there were cold sweat there.
The trade was still legal during the Qing Dynasty, but after the establishment of the New Nation, it was banned. It must be said that this was an extremely wise decision. What a tragedy it would be for a country to rely on taxes from women selling their bodies to survive.
Unfortunately, he was now in no position to speak out for himself. Like a clay Buddha crossing a river, he found himself in this Military Camp, filled with many concerns, unable to say anything. Otherwise, he truly wanted to argue a few points; these Kun Ze and Zhong Yong were not willingly in such a position. If anyone had the ability to live independently, who would choose to become someone else's plaything?
Ye Chen silently closed his eyes, trying not to listen to the filthy words around him. Just as he pulled the blanket over his head in an attempt to block out the outside noise, another voice suddenly emerged.
"I dare say that Doctor Pei has definitely been to the Pavilion of Floral Pursuit. Don’t you believe it?"
Hmm? Who are they talking about?
Ye Chen's drowsy mind instantly became fully alert; gossip was always the best remedy for waking him up.
For a moment, everyone in the tent was stunned, except for Ye Chen, who was now wide awake, his eyes opened wide with curiosity.
"Wow, Liu Ben, what are you talking about? A refined and elegant person like Doctor Pei would never go to the Pavilion of Floral Pursuit! He comes from the capital; how many stunning beauties could there possibly be in our small border town? The women at the Pavilion of Floral Pursuit are just gathered from various places; they barely pass muster. Doctor Pei wouldn’t even look at them."
"Is it that he looks down on them, or that he simply wouldn’t go?" Another voice questioned.
"Yeah, this Doctor Pei... I just can’t see him as that kind of person."
"That kind of person?" The speaker's tone dripped with malice, their lewdness making one feel nauseous.
"You little brat, still laughing? You don’t understand matters between men. That Kun Ze is Tian Qian’s gifted match; even if you don’t like him at first, if Xin Xiang’s compatibility is high enough, you can end up in bed together without love." The previous man's voice gradually turned frivolous and reckless. Ye Chen listened with disgust, his dark eyes nearly filled with rage.
This means that if he encounters someone with a high compatibility like Xin Xiang in the future, he might lose his rationality and become someone who only knows how to indulge in physical desires?
Ye Chen shivered, instinctively pulling the blanket tighter around himself, as if that would provide him with a bit more security.
He absolutely could not reveal his secret about Kun Ze in the Military Camp; otherwise, the consequences awaiting him... Ye Chen dared not think further and quickly closed his eyes, forcing himself to stop contemplating these terrifying thoughts.
